Epilogue

Hinila ako ng mommy niya at dinala ako sa loob. Awkward naman akong napangiti sa daddy niyang pinanliitan ako ng mga mata.

Tita and I talked. PInakita niya ang ilang picture ni Kiarra at binigyan pa ako ng isang litrato na pwedeng ilagay sa wallet.

She suddenly stopped nung mapadpad kami sa highschool picture ni Kiarra.

"Jaz always tells me things about you."

Napangiti ako sa sinabi ng Mommy niya. Wag mo na pong ituloy tita dahil kinikilig na agad ako. Enebe.

"I was really shocked nung sinabi niyang babae ang nagugustuhan niya. Our daughter always liked boys so we didn't believe her at first. But a few days later, we found out that it's true and here we are.

She smiled softly. KIta ko ang resemblance ni Kiarra sakanya ni ikinangiti ko din.

"I'm her mother yet I didn't consider her thought and feelings nung nireto namin siya kay Anthony. That's why when she said that she have a girlfriend, we accepted it immediately. I love my daughter and I respect her decisions."

"I accept your relationship. Don't break her heart and love her with all your heart."She smiled.

"I love your daughter more than anything, Ma'am. She's the only one for me so you don't have to worry."I replied and smiled back.

"Stop being formal. You can call me Mom."

May panalo na mga accla. Mom nalang daw ang tawag ko. Shet. Itabi niyo, moment ko na 'to.

Nagpaalam si MOM dahil kailangan pa daw niyang magluto. Pagkaalis ni MOM ay pumasok naman si Kiarra kasama ang daddy niya. Napaseryoso tuloy ulit ako.

"Kiarra, anak. I need a hand here."Rinig kong sabi ni MOM mula sa kusina.

Lumapit saakin si Kiarra at mukhang may ibubulong. Yumuko naman ako dahil nga mas matangkad ako sakanya.

"He wants to talk to you. I'll help mommy first. You can do it baby."

Napalunok ako habang katitigan ko ang daddy ni Kiarra. Seryoso parin ang tingin niya at mukhang inoobserbahan ako.

"Vergara, come with me."He ordered.

I followed him which leads us to their garage. Mukha atang may inaayos na sasakyan dahil nagkalat ang mga gamit.

He turned to look at me. "Do you know how to fix a car?"

"Yes sir."

"Then give me a little help here."

Tumango ako at tinupi ang sleeves na suot. Gaya ng sabi ay tinulungan ko ang Daddy niya. Tahimik lang kaming nag ayos at buti nalang hindi malala yung sira nung sasakyan kaya madaling natapos ang ginagawa namin.

"What do you think of my daughter?"

Napatingin ako sakanya habang naghuhugas ng kamay. Seryoso niyang hinintay ang sagot ko.

I smiled when I remembered Kiarra. My pretty love. "My queen. My love. My everything."

He sighed. "I know I'm not a good father to my only daughter. I make mistakes and sometimes hurt her feelings. I never really imagine her being with a girl."

"I didn't also imagine that she'll like me back."I replied. Akala ko kasi happy crush lang pero wala eh. Na inlove ako. Ngayon kinababaliwan at girlfriend ko na.

"I always thought that she liked that boy, Anthony. Mali pala ako. Hindi ko naisip na napipilitan lang siya para mapasaya kami ng mommy niya."

Lumapit siya saakin pagkatapos ko magpunas ng kamay.
